Absolutely brilliant day. The today is stunning. We were super lucky to get a clear day so views were amazing. I love a cave, the last bit, part 3 has some steep old steps but anyone with a moderate walking ability should manage parts 1 and 2 easily. Hida village is very cute too some lovely picture opportunities. Would definitely recommend this trip and Yoshi our guide was great, very knowledgeable and great sense of humour. Thank you Yoshi!
